A very simple cake with a hint of rosewater, but it's just what your fika needs!


2 c ground almonds

1/2 c honey/maple syrup/rice syrup

1/3 c coconut oil or butter, softened
3 eggs

zest of 2 lemons

2 tbsp rose water

1 tsp baking soda

1/3 c flaked or chopped almonds


Preheat oven to 160C. Line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper.

Put all the ingredients except the flaked almonds in a bowl and mix well. Or blitz in a food processor.

Scrape batter into the cake tin and scatter almonds on top.

Bake for around 35 min. Leave to cool in the tin.
